The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting with Gu Refining

Nine Eclipse Gate Gu Masters faced off against eight villagers.

There was no suspense in the fight between the two sides. Half a moment later, seven villagers lay dead on the ground, and only one person stumbled towards the insect nest.

The strange thing is that this villager doesn't seem to care whether strangers will follow him into the village. In other words, he simply cannot think about it like a living person.

Their eyes were focused on the running figure. Except for Ji Huan, the other eight disciples of the Eclipse Sect could not help but look shocked.

It was only now, after seeing the real faces of these villagers, that they understood what Senior Brother Ji had said.

On the ground, under the clothes of the seven corpses were non-human bodies. Insect shells had grown on their bodies, and even their blood had turned into insect-like green.

The villagers of Qujia Village were indeed dead, and these people who appeared again had become half-human, half-insect monsters.

"Senior Brother Ji, only one of these eight people is sane?" When the thick-browed Gu Master asked, he looked at the body of one of the tall villagers on the ground.

In the fight just now, this person was the only one who retained his sanity, but he was also somewhat confused.

As for the other seven, they were completely unconscious and just fought with them instinctively like swarms of bees in a hive.

Ji Huan ignored it. He took out a pair of knife-like weapon Gu and cut into the tall corpse.

Soon, a piece of insect crystal was taken out.

The overall insect crystal is earthy yellow, showing a fish scale-like pattern. This kind of insect crystal has never appeared in the Eclipse Sect.

Ji Huan held the insect crystal in one hand and explained: "As the elder said, the people in Qujia Village have become part of the insect nest, half-dead like medicine men."

"Villagers with residual sanity will be planted with strange Gu eggs and become half-human, half-insect Gu masters. Insect crystals will also be produced in their bodies."

"A Gu Master who can condense insect crystals into his body?" The other disciples of the Eclipse Sect looked at each other.

Ji Huan cast a thoughtful glance at his eight junior brothers without further explanation.

He knew very well that a normal Gu Master would not be able to condense insect crystals like a Gu insect, but once a Gu Master transformed into an insect, it would be completely different. There would no longer be a strange Gu in the body, but the insect crystals would be condensed like a Gu. .

"Let's go, follow."

Ji Huan kept up his tall posture and followed closely, followed by the other eight disciples of the Eclipse Sect.

…

By noon that day, many Gu Masters came one after another.

East, south, west, north, among the four sides, the Gu masters who come here mostly choose the east side.

Under the warm sunshine of the twelfth lunar month, a group of three people were walking among the grass on the road in the fields. These three people have elegant figures, their whole bodies are wrapped in the breeze, and their footsteps move extremely fast.

"Half human, half insect! The rumors are true. The entire Qujia Village has turned into insects and become members of the insect nest."

"Not only the villagers of Qujia Village, some Gu Masters who came out alive said that those who could not escape have also turned into insects."...

After the three people looked at the seven corpses on the ground, they didn't linger much, and their figures quickly disappeared within the heavy "fences".

Not long after the three of them left, six more people arrived.

This group of six people was headed by a tall woman, and there were also young men and girls, including Liu Feng and six others.

Except for Chen Jing and Zhu Li, none of the other four people, including Liu Feng, showed any surprise at the half-human, half-insect on the ground.

At this time, the five of them stood aside, and Lu Yao reached out to the tall corpse. In the palm of his hand, a colorful mouse was squeaking, looking very restless.

"Miss, what can you see?" Shen Yushu was playing with a dozen vine seeds in his hand as he spoke.

"There is spiritual energy in this person's internal organs, which is the source of his ability to transform into insects and remain immortal. They are feeding on the spiritual pulp in the insect nest."

Lu Yao's beautiful eyes were filled with joy, but she didn't explain a word about how she could identify the aura in this person.

In fact, without her explanation, everyone present could guess that it was probably related to the fragrant rat spirit.

On the side, when Liu Feng and Zhou Wan saw the colorful rat spirit, they couldn't help but have dark eyes, wondering what they were thinking about.

"These people are neither alive nor dead, half human and half insect. They are similar to our medicine people in the Insect Valley. Medicine people need a lot of insect medicine and tonics to maintain their health. These insect people actually enjoy it and can eat spiritual pulp." Shen Yushu joked casually.

"What enjoyment is there? Just like the swarms of bees in the hive, they are ignorant and have become a puppet working for others." Zhou Wan curled her lips and did not look at the corpse on the ground.

While they were talking, they looked at the meat on the three bullock carts. The cows pulling the carts had long since disappeared.

They had some doubts about the purpose of these meats. In Chonggu Valley, animal meat was mixed with medicinal materials to make medicinal paste for raising gu, but they didn't know how to use it in Qujia Village.

"The three of them have been in for a while, let's get going." Lu Yao waved.

The six of them chose this direction to enter the insect nest because there were the most Gu Masters entering the village from this direction, and they thought there would be less risk since there were others to open the way.

There are "fences" as tall as city walls, with rough and uneven surfaces.

In the middle of it, you can see the insect passages that are intertwined like lanes, and the ground is full of dry insect shells.

The Gu worms in the insect nest are also devouring each other, and the scale is far beyond the imagination of a first-generation Gu master.

It's just that it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and most of the poisonous insects are sleeping. It's hard to see complete poisonous insects on the surface. There may still be poisonous insects active in the warmer underground.

The six people walked in the insect tunnel for a long time, but they still couldn't see a single brick in Qujia Village.

"I'll go up and have a look." Zhu Li's legs swelled up and he was about to climb up to find the way.

Shen Yushu stopped him and said, "No need to go to such trouble."

When the other five people looked at him, the dozen or so vine seeds in Shen Yushu's hand were ejected one by one and landed on the top of the fence.

Visible to the naked eye, the dozen or so vine seeds took root and sprouted, and within ten seconds they grew into a foot-long green vine.

"I've found the way. Just follow me..." Green light flashed in Shen Yushu's eyes.

But the steps he just took suddenly stopped, and his expression changed, as if he noticed something was wrong.

Lu Yao was about to ask a question when a pitiful howl suddenly came from somewhere inside the insect nest, followed by a second and third pitiful howl.

The sound wasn't too far away from them, but with such a high barrier, they couldn't understand what happened to the people over there.

Before the people here could make up their minds, Shen Yushu abandoned the five people and was the first to turn around and run back, which caught people off guard.

"Shen, you..." Zhou Wan's eyes widened, not knowing why.

The next moment, before the five people here could move, a sound of insects chirped.

The sound was inaudible, like a person talking in sleep while half asleep, but it penetrated directly into their minds.

"Buzzing..."

The five people's minds were buzzing, and the insect paths in their vision flickered.

After a few breaths, the insect path was still the insect path, but the sky in the eyes of the five people turned dark, as if they had suddenly gone from day to night.

"Gu technique." These two words appeared in the minds of the five people.

At this moment, the five of them were possessed by some kind of poison. As night fell, they fell into a deep sleepiness.

However, the heavy footsteps in their ears told them that there were about ten burly people running towards them.
